I have a verizon galaxy s5 however I to use the MetroPCS services. Will I be able to do that?
 


I have the same question. When I put Metro SIM card into Verizon based s5, it does't work and there is notification like SIM card not from Verizon. I can get rid of this message (till next reboot), but the phone is still not working. I called Verizon, but they told me I have to call Metro PCS. I don't want to buy SIM card from them, because they will charge additional fee for updating my phone plus will add $10 monthly to my plan.
 
Hey I have the same issue did any of you get a solution?




 
Hi I had the same issue I recently change Verizon s5 to metro pcs once the phone is unlock you would be able to use it on metro. There are a few features that don't work after switching WiFi sharing and accessing your voice mail box also your account info on my metro app.
 


How did you do it
 


 


 
I have a Verizon S6 edge plus.. I also using Metro pcs service.. Yes it says, This is not a Verizon sim card & after 3 metro store & having to buy a Verizon Prepaid card (with only 5gb data that was gone in a week) I finally got a worker who knew what she was doing. You have to add Metro PCS to The APN settings under Mobile networks (Google Metro PCS APN settings).
